Zabad, l'écume des nuits

Description

A duo between tradition and modernity... If Arabic music is a tree with multiple branches, one of its branches is called Sabîl. But this time, the oud-percussion duo formed by Ahmad AlKhatib and Youssef Hbeisch will be joined by two guests who, on double bass and buzuq, participate in this project with lightness. For Zabad is "the foam of the nights," a music that is sometimes contemplative, sometimes danceable; composition and technique draw from tradition to generate innovation, with the confident curiosity of one who surrenders to the movements of the world. Young masters of Eastern tradition, guests of the greatest world music festivals, Ahmad and Youssef introduce us to the insane rhythms and delicate maqâmât of this musical culture among the most refined.
